Great that the Commerce module for Backdrop CMS is now available! That has been the main reason holding me back from finally switching to Backdrop CMS.
However, a few things are still missing to use it effectively.
For example, the ability to provide an invoice as a PDF both for download and to send it via email. This is a legal requirement for me. Under Drupal, I used the Commerce Billy and Commerce Billy Mail packages for this.
Additionally, the Commerce License and Commerce Node Checkout packages.
Is there any chance that these will also be ported to Backdrop CMS? That would be great!

Hi Jochen
You could test https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/commerce_invoice_receipt which doesn't yet have a release, but may meet your needs when combined with other modules to generate PDFs. If you test it and find bugs, report them; if you test it and it works, report back and let them know and hopefully it will be released.
If you want to request a module to be ported, you should check here: https://github.com/backdrop-ops/contrib/issues and if there is not one for that module, create a new issue of the "Port request" type.
I should say that people tend to port modules for the following reasons:
You may get a positive response to a request, but if you really need a particular module, you should consider paying someone to port it. If you are willing to pay, you can post your request here: https://forum.backdropcms.org/forum/help-wanted-job-listings and you may well get some interest.
But do put the request up first in case someone else is interested in porting it and will do it anyway.
